ISEE
Testing Accommodations
ISEE will make every effort to accommodate students who are unable to take the ISEE under standard conditions due to a documented disability.
Requesting Accommodations
Submit your accommodations request at least several weeks in advance to allow for the time and support needed to complete the process. Once an application is complete, the review and approval can take one to two weeks. Submissions with incomplete or insufficient documentation may take longer. Approved accommodation(s) are valid for 24 months from the date of approval. Accommodations are not flagged on your student’s score report.
Request accommodations
Create or log in to your parent account. If you haven't already done so, add your student to your account. Next, go to your student's dashboard and select the "Accommodations" toggle. In the Active Accommodations section, click "New Request" to begin the accommodations request process.

Register for a test
If your student is approved for the requested accommodation(s), you may register for a test offering those accommodation(s). We cannot guarantee that every test site will offer all of your accommodations. To avoid rescheduling fees, do not register for a test until after you have received your accommodations decision.

Eligibility
Any student with a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations on the ISEE. A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity or bodily function. Temporary conditions are generally not eligible for accommodations unless they substantially limit a major life activity.
Supporting Documentation
Requests are not reviewed until both a copy of the supporting documentation and the current school statement form have been received.
Supporting Documentation
Submit at least one of the following forms of supporting documentation.
IEP/504/Private School Plan
This documentation must detail a student who routinely receives specific accommodations due to a disability and be dated within the last 3 years.
Professional Evaluation
This category includes documentation (dated within the last 3 years) from a licensed or otherwise properly credentialed professional who has completed an individualized assessment of your student.
Past Approvals of Testing Accommodations on Similar Tests
If your student was approved for testing accommodations on a similar standardized test, this can substantiate your student’s need for accommodations. Proof of testing on a similar test (SSAT, HSPT, SAT, ACT, PSAT) within 3 years.
Current School Statement
The Current School Statement describes the accommodations the student currently receives and utilizes for school-based tests. This form must be completed by an administrator or specialist responsible for granting requests for student accommodations at the student’s current school—including virtual or homeschool settings.
The Current School Statement is found on Page 3 of the ISEE Accommodations Request Form, which can be downloaded from your online parent account.
